Franklin Line commuter rail trains, which travel over the bridge, were delayed “up to 5 minutes” while inspectors evaluated it, according to the MBTA.

Franklin Line trains may be delayed up to 5 minutes near Islington while moving at restricted speed over the East Street Bridge which was struck by a truck. Crews are on scene making inspections and minimzing the impact to train traffic.

The MBTA is currently in the process of increasing the bridge’s clearance, which was 10 feet, 6 inches.

The new train bridge brought the clearance to 12 feet (signs at the bridge still have the old height). In the spring, the road is set to be lowered, Pesaturo said; then clearance will go to 13 feet, 6 inches.

Keolis teams worked over the weekend to install the new East Street bridge in Westwood. A higher clearance will mean fewer bridge strikes & better service for @MBTA_CR passengers on the Franklin Line. Future work will increase road depth, adding even more clearance for vehicles. pic.twitter.com/JntCsKL9j6
